Google for Education and ISTE+ASCD are launching the largest free AI literacy training initiative of its kind, offering all 6 million U.S. K-12 and higher education educators flexible Gemini AI training modules with micro-credential badges to modernize classroom instruction.
As veteran COBOL developers retire and billions of lines of legacy code power 95% of US ATM transactions, AI tools like Claude Code are now automating the most costly and complex phases of modernization, offering organizations a practical, incremental path forward before a critical skills gap becomes a full-blown crisis.
AI agents are revolutionizing workplace productivity by autonomously handling complex tasks, but a new guide from Wiz warns that their rapid adoption introduces serious security vulnerabilities across AI pipelines, models, and decision-making processes that are difficult to detect without proper understanding.
A 13-hour AWS outage allegedly triggered by Amazon's own Kiro AI tool autonomously deleting and recreating an environment has ignited fierce debate over AI autonomy, with Amazon blaming user error while employees warn this is at least the second AI-related disruption as the company aggressively pushes an 80% weekly Kiro …
Perplexity abandons its advertising strategy and pivots to subscriptions and enterprise deals, betting that ad-free AI search will build consumer trust — but the startup faces fierce competition from Google, ChatGPT, and Anthropic as it fights for a foothold in an increasingly crowded market.
Three engineers ship a million-line codebase without writing a single line of code, using OpenAI's Codex agents to autonomously handle the entire development lifecycle — from bug fixes to pull requests — at a pace of 3.5 PRs per engineer per day.
Anthropic's Claude AI has successfully built a C compiler capable of handling complex, multi-subsystem engineering projects, proving AI can maintain architectural coherence at scale — but the system still relies on existing design patterns rather than inventing genuinely new ones, signaling a shift in engineering value toward system design and …
A compromised npm token pushes a malicious Cline CLI update that silently installs the AI agent OpenClaw on developer machines, remaining live for eight hours and exposing users to serious supply chain and agentic AI risks — developers are urged to update to Cline version 2.4.0 immediately.
Cisco's State of AI Security 2026 report warns of a surging AI threat landscape where research-lab vulnerabilities are now fueling real-world attacks, exposing a critical readiness gap as 83% of enterprises plan agentic AI deployments but only 29% feel equipped to secure them.
Software teams are abandoning ad-hoc AI prompting in favor of structured, versioned specifications embedded directly into repositories, enabling both humans and AI agents to work from a consistent source of truth and shifting the core engineering skill toward formalizing intent rather than optimizing prompts.
